Mission Impossible: First load of laundry

After a couple days of procrastination, I decided that I finally needed to attempt my first load of laundry. Unfortunately, the washing machine on my floor was broken. I went to the floors below me and above me to find a time to sign up for the machines. Arriving in the laundry room 5 minutes before my time, I sat down and waited for the person before me to come pick up her clothes in the machine to put them in the dryer. I waited and waited.... for about 30 minutes. Finally, she came and got her clothes. I successfully washed my first load of laundry, however, there were no open driers to put them in. How this happens I do not know. I walked to every floor in my hall to try and find a dryer, but there were none available. I brought my wet clothes back to my room and hung them around my room. I waited 2 more hours to finally got to an open dryer. I miss when my mom did my laundry...

Luck of the Draw

After my first week in college here at Ball State, I have quickly discovered the advantage of having the new Recreational and Wellness Center right across from my dorm room. I have been working out there almost everyday. Yesterday, while I was working out on the elliptical I was watching CNN cover a story on New York Charter Schools. Many parents are trying to enroll their children into the best schools, but in some New York districts parents are having to enter a lottery in order to make that possible. Thousands of children are entered into the lottery and only a few hundred are selected to attend the charter schools. Charters schools are a publicly funded school, but is ran individually therefore providing a better education for students. Charter schools are statistically proven to award students better standardize testing scores and to increase the child's chances of continuing on to higher education. After hearing about this I began to wonder why not all children are given the chance to go to a good school? Why isn't there enough funding for every children to be given the best education possible? What must we do to ensure that all of our children are being properly educated instead of just a few lucky ones?
